The Self-Regulatory Executive Function model [S-REF; Wells, A., & Matthews, G. (1996). Modelling cognition in emotional disorder: the S-REF model. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 34, 881-888] proposes that metacognitive beliefs, inflexible self-focused attention, and perseverative thinking (rumination and worry) play an important role in maintaining emotional dysfunction. Attention training [AT...

Diagnostic classification is an important part of clinical care, which is often the main determinant of treatment and prognosis. Clinicians’ underor over-confidence in their performance on diagnostic tasks can result in diagnostic errors which can lead to delay in appropriate treatment and unnecessary increase in the cost of medical care. This paper presents a version of SlideTutor aiming to re...

The diagnosis problem-solving task can be complex in many professions for which it is central, for example medical diagnosis, farm-management consultancy, etc. This is because often the expert must solve problems and make decisions in complex situations and while under time pressures. The complex nature of the problem situations and the novices’ lack of advanced metacognitive skills also make i...

Two studies examined undergraduates' metacognitive awareness of six empirically-supported learning strategies. Study 1 results overall suggested an inability to predict the learning outcomes of educational scenarios describing the strategies of dual-coding, static-media presentations, low-interest extraneous details, testing, and spacing; there was, however, weak endorsement of the strategy of ...

An approach in modeling collaborative and metacognitive data is presented in this paper. The proposed scheme, namely Collaboration/ Metacognition–Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (C/M-ANFIS), uses neurofuzzy structure to adaptively infer on the relation between the above data in a meaningful way. More specifically, the collaborative and metacognitive data refer to the participant’s...
